May 12, 2020 – The wildfire currently burning in two cut blocks off of the Bish Creek Forest Service Road is being held at 40 hectares with no growth overnight and today.

Sufficient suppression action has been taken and the fire is not likely to spread beyond existing boundaries under the prevailing and forecasted conditions. 

There are two units (approximately 40 firefighters) on the ground fighting the fire which are being supported by two helicopters bucketing water. It is anticipated that this suppression activity will continue for the next couple of days.

There is currently no presumed risk to the community. Updates will be provided when available. Please refrain from traveling to the Bish Creek area at this time.
